carol is the most amazing teacher i have ever encountered. she is passionate about what she teaches and goes out of her way to help students. i want to be like carol when i grow up. she's also a hella lot of fun.

Carol is sharp, precise, encouraging and challenging. I learned that experiments in writing can be very successful through taking her class. I love her challenging style and would recommend her to anyone. She's so much fun!

Amazing prof! She is absolutely brilliant and loves what she teaches! A lot of work and she expects a lot from you, but she makes you want to work hard! Completely awesome!

I had her for first year and absolutely loved women in lit. She is highly intelligent and four years later, I still remember the things she taught in class.

Carol is, by far, the most coherent and passionately engaged teacher I've ever had. She is fair to a fault and makes the classroom into a place of dialogue, not monologue. She rocks!

Carol is just awesome--more helpful than any other prof I've had and dripping with enthusiasm. The assignments were clearly laid out and she was always available to help above and beyond the call of duty. Take her classes; you won't regret it.

Professor Davison was more than fair in this course, offering us all the chance to rewrite our essays (which no one failed...so I don't know what the "sour grapes" person below--who can't spell--is talking about). A few people failed the midterm and Carol even rearranged our grade to help us out.

Easy on the eyes and utterly brilliant--what more is needed to keep your attention?

I can't believe how bad of a review this woman is getting. She knows her stuff!"monsters" was my one of my fav. classes last semester, dr. Davison really likes teaching and shes always open to ppl's views, books and films mixed, it was one of the best classes i've taken-- you wont be disapointed!

Carol has given us so many chances to improve and always provides instructions well in advance. The person below lies, lies, lies! How sad when the most concerned and helpful profs get no respect. This class is great and the person below is rude! I'll take another class with her if I can. I am learning so much.

Loved her class and helpfulness. She is very approachable and understanding. I learned a lot.

A fantastic professor. She is very enthusiastic about the material. Amazing reading list for the class! She doesn't just give you a good grade for showing up, you have to work for it. That being said, she's very understanding when everyone does badly on something early on, and gives you an opportunity to make up for it. Fantastic woman & professor!

Don't know how she stay focused when everyone was talking all the time. She was interesting and serious. Good prof. Even funny at times.

Anyone who thinks she sucked clearly weren't paying attention or doing the work. Your not a baby anymore she doesn't have to hold your hand, the professor is there to deliver her material in a way that suggests you actually read the crap before going to class. This is UNIVERSITY time to grow up.

I had Dr. Davison for topics: death to victorian lit and it was by far the best class and I have taken and hands down the best proff in the English faculty. She is so understanding and is willing to go the extra mile in order to see you succeed. She have my class an extensions for a paper twice! I highly suggest this proff.

This woman changed my life. She is an amazing mind. I cannot say enough good things about her.

Dr. Davison's lectures are really clear and intriguing. Enthusiastic about what she teaches. Tests easy- terms, passage analysis, and short answers. Understanding of students' stress and needs-worked with class to make it less stressful (due dates, make-up assignments, less novels, final not cumulative ). Exceptional prof! Highly recommend!

Probably the best, most helpful professor I have ever had. I enjoyed going to her for extra help and she never made you feel like your thoughts were wrong and would help you reconstruct them so that they could be applied to a paper. She was beyond nice and approachable. She is passionate about what she teaches! She makes going to class fun.

She really, really loves Victorian lit. and the macabre which makes her kinda hot. She assigns a lot of extra reading that would help with essays and ideas. I kept them because they were really interesting. She's available for help and not condescending. However we read too much for the amount we analyzed. Take her, but go to class and read.

Amazing prof. Absolutely amazing. Do the readings and go to class and you can excel

Passionate teacher, one can tell that she really cares about the topics. And that's good, it shows they're into it. She was very fair, she knew we as a class had difficulty doing the exams so she changed some things up to help us. She even haves us a list of stuff to work on for our essays after our first three which was appreciated. Very good prof

An extremely respected professor in the English department, and for good reason. Her course had interesting material, she was clearly passionate about the topic and I was actually excited to do the reading. Yes, her exams can be challenging (many wrote until the last second) - but if you study hard and take an interest, you will do well. Rewarding.

Dr. Davison was extremely compassionate and flexible. I could tell she genuinely cared about my performance in her class. She went out of her way more than once to ensure that we all had a fair shot at success (I've never experienced that before). Class material is genuinely fun to read/write about and her lectures are passionate and engaging.

This was a very interesting and well-presented class. Not only is the literature well-chosen, Dr. Davison is a great professor. She is enthusiastic and invested in the content she conveys and I genuinely felt that I learned a lot. I especially enjoy when she connects the course content to actual world issues, making it all the more relevant.

Davison is one of the most amazing professors Ive had in University. Her lectures are always interested and well thought you. Shes also very understanding of students personal lives and other matters. 10/10 recommend not only this class, but Davison as a professor in general.

The monsters class she teaches is amazing. It's a lot of reading, but luckily all the books and papers she chooses are super interesting. She has a very heavy lecture based class, but every one was interesting and I found myself very focused on what she had to say. Dr. Davison has so much amazing knowledge to share her classes are wonderful!

Outstanding lectures. Dr. Davison always discussed important topics from each of the novels that were studied. As a non-english major I thought that I would have struggled much more in this class! Everything covered was very interesting, and I enjoyed going to every class. Tip: try to keep up with good note taking, specifically definitions!

Carol is an extremely kind professor, Id say I took a lot from her our monsters and ourselves class. I highly recommend this course if your interested in learning a lot from a professor who shows a lot of interest in what shes teaching. She loves her work and I really respect that. Attend the lectures and pay attention and itll reflect in grades

Dr. Davison is so sweet and went above and beyond for her students to do well. Far from rubbish! As a non English major, I found grading difficult but still Dr. Davison was my favorite prof this semester. You have to go to class and take notes for definitions. It is clear Dr. Davison loves what she teaches and cares for her students.

Professor Davison's Our Monsters, Ourselves class was a truly engaging experience. You can tell that she is passionate about what she teaches. The class was difficult but in that way it was enriching and I have so much appreciation for Professor Davison and what she does.

Interesting concepts and requires holistic knowledge about the time period the literature is placed in. The topics are interesting so it's not hard to stay involved with the course material. Also, Dr. Davison is a total master in her field. You can tell she is enthusiastic which resonated with me, and I feel like I actually KNOW about Victorian lit

Dr. Davidson is extremely intelligent and proves that she knows her stuff throughout the course. This makes her lectures interesting, but also requires you to pay attention. If you put in your best effort, you will receive good mark. Overall, she is fair in her grading and assignments, and I really enjoyed her Victorian literature class.

Professor Davison lays out her expectations clearly and has been very accommodating during COVID-19 and all of the other stresses that have come with it. I have genuinely enjoyed her lectures and the formats of the tests. Overall, she is fair and you can tell she is passionate about both the material and her students.

Lectures were quite interesting, and she allowed students to exercise their own critical thinking skills and take alternative approaches as long as you could back it up. Lots of lecture hours, but they were interesting. Tough grader according to some others in the class, but perhaps that was on them for not keeping up with the readings.

Clearly very passionate about her subject her passion increased my enthusiasm for the course. The lectures were very very goodmake sure you take not of everything. I learned a lot. I couldve done better in the course, but I think thats more due to the online format than the prof.

I took Dr. Davison twice and I loved her each time. She picks timeless novels and explains them wonderfully. She helped the whole class improve our grades countless times and always offered to help during office hours. I can tell she is passionate about Gothic literature, and now, so am I! I hope to teach some Victorian literature, too.

Davison is a great prof and good at lecturing and I enjoyed the content! It can be tricky. You really need to pay attention cause the answers for test questions are pulled straight from her lectures and the readings. I find that she is very specific about what she is looking for in responses and on essays. You just need to figure out what that is.

Davison's expectations are high, but only because she's so close to the work, and THOROUGH in her lectures. Her tests may be tricky, but she was extremely generous in her efforts to raise the average and help those struggling to succeed. She followed ALL of the COVID protocol as per the U's instructions. If you got COVID, that's on you.

There was a misunderstanding about the policies. Dr. Davison is allowed to be mask-less at the front of the room as long as she stays there. While a friend did get Covid at the same time as the prof, no rules were technically broken. Unfortunately, reviews cannot be retracted by the writers once posted.

Davison is so passionate about the material she covers in class that it's hard to not be interested. She's a tough marker but gives you many opportunities to raise your mark or get feedback from her so u can genuinely understand the course material better. I've never had a professor care so much about their students and their academic journeys.

This professor is the greatest professor you'll ever find. She grades fairly and treats all of her students with respect. She takes her job seriously and is well respected. The experience in her class is extremely enjoyable!

She is very passionate about her teaching , research and she cares about her students. She is very detailed about her lecture and she provided many different sources for students to study. She is also pretty easy to reach out too.

Loved both Victorian lit classes I took with her! Fair marking and not too many assignments. There is a lot of reading, but she selects great material. One of my favourite English profs

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND PROFESSOR DAVISON

Very heavily bases topics and lectures on the readings, so be ready for that. Does have interesting readings though, and she does care about students and wants to work with you.

Great professor, cares about her students and wants to see everyone succeed. Projects are fairly simple and straightforward, often consisting of applying and comparing topics of literature to eachother or other aspects of life. If you do enough of the readings you shouldn't struggle at all. She's incredibly passionate and friendly as well.

Dr. Davison is a fantastic professor. She is passionate about the material & her relationships with students. I will keep this short; the readings are enriching, & longer works (articles) are summarized on D2L. Assessments range (papers, tests, etc.) & marks are generous, at times adjusted. Her lectures have brought me to both laughter and tears!

dr davison is the kindest, most student-oriented prof i've had. she will give you multiple chances to do assignments with no penalty simply because she wants to see you do well. her courses are reading heavy at times, but no more than any other course would be, and you will need to go to lectures, but if you put the work in, you'll do well
